Lewis Walter and Neilson Rich.
THE RIVER PALACE.
Toronto: Dundurn 2008. 248 pp large 8vo 9" H. B&w photographs reproductions drawings. "Steamboats carrying passengers from Hamilton to Montreal via the rapids of the St. Lawrence were a popular sight in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In 1855 the 'Kingston' an iron steamboat built for John Hamilton appeared on the Great Lakes. When the Prince of Wales later Edward VII toured British North America in 1860 the 'Kingston' became his floating palace for much of his time between Quebec and Toronto. While many steamboats claimed to be floating palaces the 'Kingston' truly was one. The 'Kingston' was wrecked many times and survived spectacular fires in 1872 and 1873. Late in her career she was converted into a salvage vessel and renamed the 'Cornwall'. In 1930 she was finally taken out and sunk near one of Kingston's ship graveyards. There she remained until diver Rick Neilson discovered her in 1989. Today the once-palatial 'Kingston' is a popular dive site and tourist attraction."

Fetherling George.
RUNNING AWAY TO SEA: ROUND THE WORLD ON A TRAMP FREIGHTER.
Toronto: Dundurn 2009. 236 pp 8 1/2" H. "At a turning point in his life George Fetherling embarked on an adventure to sail round the wrold on one of the last of the tramp freighters. The four-month voyage carried him 30000 nautical miles from Europe via the Panama Canal to the South Pacific and back by way of Singapore Indonesia the Indian Ocean and Suez. Written with dash colour and droll humour his narrative is peopled by a rich cast of characters from the Foreign Legionnaires of French Polnesia to the 'raskol' gangs of Papua New Guinea. The author captures the reality of life aboard a working cargo ship - the boredom the seclusion the differences of nationality and culture that isolation and cramped quarters seem to exaggerate. But the routine of loneliness or tranquility is punctuated by moments of near-panic - shipboard fires furniture-smashing storms even a brush with pirates in the Straits of Malacca."

THE RIDDLE OF THE TITANIC.
Weidenfeld and Nicolson London 1995 first edition. 312 pp large 8vo 9 7/16" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0297815288 Pictorial endpapers b&w plates. "Why did Captain Smith accelerate in uniquely treacherous weather towards an exceptionally dangerous ice-field of which he had been warned many times In t he disaster that followed more than 1500 people died while barely 700 were saved. This book lays bare as no other the full scope of Smith's astonishing accident record and explores his motives - and the pressures on him - anew. W hat caused the hol e near the bow The notorious iceberg cracked the plates for 300 feet along the ship's side but the hole looks more like an explosion. Why is the position of the wreck - pinpointed by the latest technology - irreconcilabl e w i t h the Titanic's SOS calls The authors conclude that the apparently ruthless American disaster hearings covered up the role of the ship's true owner the arch-capitalist J.Pierpont Morgan; that the apparently dispassionate British enquiry d om in at ed by an insider-deal ing Attorney-General whitewashed a complacent government; and that White Star covered up its own gross negligence by bribing key witnesses. And what of the wreck itself Here the mystery deepens. When Dr Rober t Ba lla rd - w ho first located the Ti tanic in 1895 - explored the wreck a year later he found the bulkhead not shown on any plans. The most diligent searches have since failed to trace the imposing stern nameplate with its embossed letters eight ee n i nche s h igh. T he authors have gone so far as to explore the breathtaking idea that the Titanic was replaced by her sister-ship the seriously damaged Olympic in a plot to recover the huge losses she ran up. The results are tantalising." T hree heav y bu mps a t to p of boards at spine wrinkling at top/bottom of spine light water mark at fore-edge of rear board.

Padfield Peter.
BROKE AND THE SHANNON.
London: Hodder and Stoughton 1968. 246 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. B&w plates map. " 'Sir as the 'Chesapeake' appears now ready for sea I request that you will do me the favor to meet the 'Shannon' with her ship to ship to try the fortune of our respective flags.' So began the challenge to equal combat which Captain Philip Broke sent to Captain Lawrence of the United States frigate 'Chesapeake' on 1st June 1813. The same afternoon Lawrence sailed to meet him; the engagement which resulted is perhaps the most celebrated single-ship duel in the annals of the Royal Navy. For the challenger Broke it was the climax of years of waiting for a chance to distinguish himself and it succeeded beyond his dreams. In one furious contest the 'Shannon' avenged an unbroken list of five American single-ship victories since the start of the war. The author tells the story of Broke's life as it led up to this supreme day and vividly describes the action itself as he has discovered it afresh in contemporary documents and survivors' accounts. As far as possible Broke's own words have been used in letters to his beloved wife as she waited in Suffolk in journals and in other papers. He emerges as much more than simply a fighting sailor - he was a sensitive man lover of flowers and the Latin poets yet a master gunner whose fascination with scientific devices and ideas on training led to the establishment of the first great gunnery school 'Excellent' a patriot a teacher a loving and beloved husband and father." Dust jacket has been price-clipped has light rubbing minor wear/wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds - tiny tear at top of spine minor browning. . First Edition. Hard Cover.

TARRY BREEKS AND VELVET GARTERS: SAIL ON THE GREAT LAKES OF AMERICA IN WAR DISCOVERY AND THE FUR TRADE UNDER THE FLEUR-DE-LYS.
Toronto: Ryerson Press 1958. 148 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. Pictorial endpapers b&w illustrations. "As a child the author had often wondered whether there were ever French men-of-war on Lake Ontario and his own sailing days turned up surprising answers. The French did have vessels on the Lakes the very first and they did their part - and it was a very important part - in opening up this continent to the world. They had their storms and their battles their triumphs and their tragedies. This book is an attempt to answer for others the questions the author had to answer for himself. Its theme is sail and sailors on the Great Lakes during the eighty-seven years of the French regime. It reveals the Great Lakes as the highway of civilization in the heroic days of the great explorers and traders and shows specifically how La Salle proved the feasibility of deepwater navigation from the Atlantic to the heart of the continent the present Seaway - and the surprising things which followed this great human discovery."

THE NAVY AND ITS CHAPLAINS IN THE DAYS OF SAIL.
Toronto: Ryerson Press 1961. 197 pp 8vo 8 5/8" H. "In the days of sail the sailor met his God upon the sea for it was here that he was most aware of Him as Ruler of the elements. Towards this God he showed respect. But religion was a limited force for those whose lives were hardend by discomfort exposure to cold and wet wretched food medical neglect and harsh discipline. Chaplains with insight came to understand the Navy's own moral code and used it to build upon. On some ships they were welcomed. On others they had to overcome indifference and sometimes open hostility. Waldo Smith recaptures here the flavour of this rugged bygone era."

Fowler William M. Jr.
JACK TARS AND COMMODORES: THE AMERICAN NAVY 1783-1815.
Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1984. 318 pp large 8vo 9 3/16" H. B&w plates maps/battle plans. "A lively and authoritative account of the United States Navy from Independence throught the War of 1812. During this turbulent period the new American republic fought three wars - declared and undeclared - against the Barbary States France and Great Britain. The first two were entirely naval affairs; the third a combination of military action on land and sea. In each the survival of the young nation was due in large part to the efforts of the navy and the exploits of such men as Stephen Decatur Isaac Hull Thomas Truxtun and Oliver Hazard Perry. William Fowler is a historian with the capacity to convert meticulous research into flowing narrative. Here he fuses political and naval history looking at political forces in the rapidly expanding U.S. society as well as at naval ordnance operations and the fateful and exciting battles at sea. He deals too with the often neglected human aspects of life aboard ship focusing on those who served in the forecastle as well as the great men on the quarterdeck."

CAPTAIN BLIGH & MR CHRISTIAN: THE MEN AND THE MUTINY.
E.P. Dutton New York 1973 first edition. 320 pp large 8vo 9 1/2" H hard cover in dust jacket. Map endpapers b&w plates drawings maps. "The main outline of the mutiny is widely known and usually seen in strong blacks and whites. It is only through the author's painstaking scholarship and reinterpretation of the major characters that the classical quality of this saga takes on a new meaning. Mr. Hough's research took him on prolongued journeys from Christian's birthplace to the other side of the world where Christian's death and Bligh's miraculous open-boat escape occurred. For the first time Christian is seen as a troubled and guilty man proud but soft beneath the skin. Bligh who had been Captain Cook's brilliant navigator and inadvertent assassin emerges as a courageous but uncertain leader out of touch with the needs of his men. This book throws new light on the relations between Bligh and Christian on Bligh's voyages to the Pacific and his incredible journey to New South Wales."

Warner Oliver.
THE BATTLE OF THE NILE.
London: B.T. Batsford 1960. 184 pp large 8vo 9" H. B&w illustrations. "Oliver Warner's approach to The Nile is the same as it was in his earlier work on Tragalgar. The scene is set the circumstances under which the battle was fought are made clear; the commanders are introduced and the reader comes to know them as human beings no less than as naval captains; the action itself is graphically described largely through the eye-witness accounts of participants; and the battle's aftermath is followed through in a way which relates the particular action to the war as a whole. The vividness of Mr. Warner's narrative is heightened by the number and variety of his illustrations. Here from their faces we can see what manner of men were Nelson Napoleon Troubridge Brueys de Saumarez or Ball; we can follow the English line as it unhesitatingly sailed into action against the anchored French; and we are present when 'L'Orient' blew up. This book is in short a most spirited and expert account of one of the classic naval actions of history."

"This richly illustrated book offers a concise overview of the historical background to Patrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey/Maturin series a straightforward exploration of what daily life in Nelson's navy was really like for everyone from the captain to the rawest recruit. What did they eat What songs did they sing What was the schedule of the watches What was the division of prize money to offices and crew How did these men end up at sea in the first place These questions and many more are answered in O'Brian's elegant narrative which includes wonderful anecdotal material on the battles and commanders that established Britain's naval supremacy. Line drawings and charts help us to understand the construction and rigging of the great ships the types and disposition of the guns and how they were operated in battle. Contemporary drawings and cartoons illustrate aspects of naval life from the press gang to the scullery. Finally a generous selection of full-color paintings renders the majesty and the excitement of fleet actions in the age of fighting sail. Any Aubrey/Maturin reader determined to learn the locations of the orlop and the mizenmast the etiquette of epaulettes or the range of a 32-pounder will delight in this invaluable reference companion to O'Brian's majestic series." .
